INTRODUCTION
Let me begin with removing some misconceptions about healing. Healing is not a science, but an Art. Of all things Art is the governor, for it is through Art that Government works. Of all Arts, the Art of Healing is the uncrowned Emperor. Poetry may be its Minister and Painting its Culture, Theatre its Jester and Science its Priest, but above all the Art of Healing, Divine in principle and practice, is without doubt the Emperor.
We are not of the general opinion that modern science as a whole and medical science in particular, is an undivided boon to mankind. To achieve that undivided beneficial quality in medical science demands a different approach from the present. For the learned fraternity of doctors uses the principles of the art of war to achieve their goal. You would not think of applying the principles of healing, painting or poetry in warfare though. What use would syringes and band-Aids, paintbrushes or quatrains be against machineguns, hand-grenades and bombs?
Similarly, the principles of war are useless in medicine. Bombarding a diseased body with heavy drugs is the wrong way around. If they want it to be a science, then this is unscientific. Bombs always have the opposite effects of what we truly want.
“The danger of bombs is in the explosion of stupidity they provoke.” (Octave Mirabeau)
Masters & Fools
William Blake said:
“After having been a fool, a student is to amass a stock of ideas and knowing himself to be fool he is to assume the right to put other men’s ideas into his foolery. Instead of following a few great masters, he is to follow a great many fools.”
In homoeopathy, we follow some great masters – Hahnemann and Hering, Von Boenninghausen, Kent, Clarke and Burnett, to name a few. We call them masters, because their findings and the attached doctrines, uses and their results are beneficial to our health, both mental and physical.
They heal with the smallest of possible doses radically each and every disease, without the use of the knife or fire and perform the physician’s high and only mission – to cure the sick.
William Blake made some more astute remarks about masters and fools.

“Servile copying is the great merit of copying. Mechanical excellence is the only vehicle of genius. Execution of this copying is the chariot of genius. Copying correctly is the only school to the language of Art. Copy the few great masters and stop following a great many fools.”
That is the message. Whether the art is painting, theatre or healing, we have to follow and copy diligently the great masters and not follow any fools. Following in their footsteps in applying the rules of the art, mastery is the well-deserved and tasty fruit.
The orthodox of the Church of Medicine follow quite a few such fools, like Avogadro, Mendel and Darwin, Jenner and Pasteur or Roentgen and Curie. These they call their masters. We are admonished to use our intelligence; the capacity to discriminate between the beneficial and the detrimental, both materially and spiritually. Therefore, we call them fools, because their findings and the attached doctrines and uses as well as their results are detrimental to our development and our health, both mental and physical. How is one to develop spiritually, when the vehicle we have been given is damaged by some foolish measures under the guise of science?
For one would not unduly and undividedly praise their inventions as beneficial – Jenner’s ideas of vaccination causes untold damage, as explained by Professor Coulter PhD and by many others in their books on the subject. We add our own insight and findings to these valuable books, which expose the measure as both faulty and dangerous. The manuscript you now hold is dealing with nothing but this abominable and aberrational practise.
Roentgen and Curie discovered radiology and radioactivity. Radiology we all know causes cancer and modern so-called ‘nuclear medicine’ uses radioactive dyes and scanning machines that give you the equivalent of 10 X-rays per year over 60 years in one go! That is a massive 600 times the normal X-ray radiological dose.
Pasteur’s Gospel is also but a shot in the dark, as we shall see in the second Chapter. It leaves everything to be wished for and has generated resistance problems with diseases that are rapidly becoming insurmountable.
Mendel’s and Darwin’s work gave us the Nazi race laws and the drive for genetic knowledge to make the super race. This notwithstanding the fact that stupidity and ignorance survive, simply by their sheer numbers. Fools generally do not consider the negative uses their inventions and discoveries can be put to.
Poor Avogadro could not comprehend anything beyond the molecular level and his ‘limit’ does not take into account nanophase products and potencies, as we shall explain in the final Chapter. Hence it fails to be a limit, except in a limited, molecular sense. As such it has functioned as a wall, beyond which we thought we could not go and is therefore restrictive to creativity in concepts and their execution.
The Enemies of Progress
As Bhaktivinoda Thakur, an Indian sage of the 19th Century wrote:
‘We love to read a book which we never read before. We are anxious to gather whatever information is contained in it and with such acquirement our curiosity stops. This mode of study prevails amongst a great number of readers, who are great men in their own estimation as well as in the estimation of those who are of their own stamp. In fact, most readers are mere repositories of facts and statements made by other people. But this is not study. The student is to read the facts with a view to create and not with the object of fruitless retention. Students, like satellites, should reflect whatever light they receive from authors and teachers and not imprison the facts and thoughts just as the Magistrates imprison the convicts in the jail!.’
(Thakur Bhaktivinode. The Bhagavat)
Study is therefore more than the retention of facts. Facts alone will not satisfy the true student, as he cannot do anything with them but make lists and classify, divide, count and enumerate. Such is the occupation of bookkeepers.
If the goal is to cram as many facts into the head as possible, then study is as good as useless. Medical study means not that we shall become mere repositories of facts and figures read from a diagnostics machine, as that does not constitute either study or knowledge or science. For we will find that at some point in life these kinds of facts alone will not help us. The facts are really there to teach us connections between things and to use that knowledge for the betterment of the patient. The masters have shown us what to do with the facts and we shall slavishly copy them.
‘Begin anew!’ cry both the useless student and the shallow critic and discard all they have ‘learned’ to go back where they started. Each will find he has to again cover the ground he already covered and try to catch up with where he was.”
(Thakur Bhaktivinode. The Bhagavat)
This attitude hinders the understanding of important things and essential knowledge about disease and its cause is discarded because of it.
“There is also the shallow critic, who takes into account what suits his shallow investigation, often designed to deride different paradigms from his own. This is the very thing he deems he is supposed to do. Both the useless student and the shallow critic are the enemies of progress.”
(Thakur Bhaktivinode. The Bhagavat)
‘Progress means elimination and new acceptance,’ our Guru said, while we firmly hold on to the laws and principles. These laws and principles the useless student and the shallow critic will denounce with all their might and will attempt to replace them by their theories. From this attitude come sterile experiments and uneventful results.
‘These are shallow expressions. Progress certainly is the law of nature and there must be corrections and developments with the progress of time. But progress means going further or rising higher. Now, if we are to follow our foolish critic, we are to go back to our former terminus and make a new race, and when we have run half the race another critic of his stamp will cry out: "Begin anew, because the wrong road has been taken!" In this way our stupid critics will never allow us to go over the whole road and see what is in the other terminus. Thus the shallow critic and the fruitless reader are the two greatest enemies of progress. We must shun them.
‘The true critic, on the other hand, advises us to preserve what we have already obtained, and to adjust our race from that point where we have arrived in the heat of our progress. He will never advise us to go back to the point whence we started, as he fully knows that in that case there will be a fruitless loss of our valuable time and labour. He will direct the adjustment of the angle of the race at the point where we are. This is also the characteristic of the useful student. He will read an old author and will find out his exact position in the progress of thought. He will never propose to burn the book on the ground that it contains thoughts which are useless. No thought is useless. Thoughts are means by which we attain our objects. The reader who denounces a bad thought, does not know that a bad road is even capable of improvement and conversion into a good one. One thought is a road leading to another. Thus the reader will find that one thought which is the object today will be the means of a further object tomorrow. Thoughts will necessarily continue to be an endless series of means and objects in the progress of humanity. The great reformers will always assert that they have come out not to destroy the old law but to fulfil it.’
(Thakur Bhaktivinode. The Bhagavat)
However, medical science today has come at a point where what was valid law yesterday will be rejected today, because of some theory, subsequently to be thrown out tomorrow by another theory.
Therefore, they have to start the race each time anew, getting further and further behind where they already were. In homoeopathy we see this trend also develop and we do well to pay attention, for the last time this happened, homoeopathy was virtually destroyed in the USA. Mind you, all the so-called new trends in homoeopathy such as drainage and organ therapy, were first tried out by Hahnemann before he discovered the Law of Similars and he summarily rejected them as not good enough. We expect our colleagues to study before they make assumptions and to not succumb a second time.
‘Thought is progressive. The author's thought must have progress in the reader in the shape of correction or development. He is the best critic, who can show the further development of an old thought; but a mere denouncer is the enemy of progress and consequently of Nature. The student must hence be creative in his study, if he is to understand. And the critic therefore should have a comprehensive, good, generous, candid, impartial and a sympathetic soul.’
(Thakur Bhaktivinode. The Bhagavat)
Enthusiastic admiration of the previous masters is the first principle of knowledge and its last. The medical scientist who, on examining his own mind finds nothing of inspiration for pure and simple healing, ought not to dare to call himself, let alone attempt to be, a healer. He is a fool and a cunning knave, suited only to the purposes of evil exploitation.
This exploitation of the suffering of the patients is the result of a few events in the history of modern medicine, which find their origins in fragmentary, materialist-reductionist thinking, which we inherited from the medieval times, when Pythagoras and Plato were introduced again to Western minds.
Pythagoras was a doubter, who wanted to discover whether what he had learned from Egypt, Babylonia and India was really true and could be proven materially. As if his teachers wanted to cheat him! Such investigations lead to fragmentary thinking, since for each fact of learning, something must be invented to prove it.
Similarly in Medicine, where Hippocrates and Galenius wielded the sceptre, fragmentary, contrary thinking was the order of the day, although the Arab physicians healed by similars. Later this also changed to the teachings of Galenius and it was the Arab physicians who taught their European counterparts during the Crusades and the Renaissance.
Fragmentary thinking became therefore the order of the day and gradually reductionist-materialist thinking replaced the wholeness and implicate order of the previous ages. This trend has continued and led to such fragmentary views that when Pasteur presented his aberrational germ-theory, they were all too ready to finally have a material cause for disease, as we shall see in Chapter 1.
In the intervening years, much has changed in medicine, making it increasingly fragmentary and reductionistic-materialistic in outlook, but the biggest change came after World War II.
The Emperor’s New Clothes
After WWII, some changes took place in medicine that are extremely detrimental to your health. The first was the incorporation of the camp-doctors within the mainstream. The Allies took as many as they could find, including laboratory personnel, because they knew the procedures. We all know they took the rocket scientists and think that was it. But doctors and chemists and other life scientists were considered as important, for they had a lot to teach.

Next was the incorporation of those teachings within mainstream research. From the present-day progression, we can all see that Medical Fascism is gaining ground, with mandatory vaccination, mandatory medicinal intake by schoolchildren and mandatory testing at pregnancy or at least the push for such legislation by all too compliant and even willing Governments.
They would like it so that everything not forbidden is compulsory or if not, to be made so on the shortest possible notice and anything not compulsory is forbidden or if not, to also be made so on the shortest possible notice. This of course includes any alternative to their form of quasi-scientific quackery.
There was however a problem
How did they integrate a despicable form of research and treatment resulting from it, without incurring the wrath of the entire world? They instigated an enormous PR campaign in which the childhood diseases were painted in the darkest colours, from the few deaths that occurred from them among the poor and underfed.
They then began with mass vaccination and presented it as a benevolent procedure. The resulting diseases caused by side effects they must of course research to ‘understand’ them. It also gave them a tool of fear to demand compulsion. From the history of vaccination they already knew it was a superfluous procedure with its own accompanying dangers. The simultaneous increase in hygiene, better housing and food that were the real cause of reductions in diseases was kept out of the public eye and the vaccinations were claimed to have done the trick.
An increase in vaccines is the next step to make the population sick and instigate more research. These vaccines create ‘a-typical’ forms of the disease which are deadly and on that basis they demanded compulsory vaccination, which succeeded in the US, some States in Canada and Australia, but not in Europe.
When Watson and Crick announced the helical structure of DNA in 1956, medical science had prodded the biologists to further investigate the genes – more fragmentation – so they could exploit the results and piggy-back their own genetic research onto it. Mind you, this was only 10 years after WW II, which should give us pause to think. Gradually, they introduced the idea of genetic causes of disease and more research was directed towards it.
This increased the power of the Medical-Pharmaceutical Industrial Empire a great deal and fed its ambitions to megalomaniacal proportions and so it was that it became the Emperor of Sciences, rather than simply remaining the Emperor of Arts. Lobbying the Governments further strengthened their position and the Emperor grew in power, demanding compulsion for vaccination – if not possible for babies, then for the military at least, ‘to protect them against biological weapons’.
The Governments realised that universal healthcare could be achieved with the help of the industry and the socialism that took a hold of Europe and elsewhere began to implement it. This meant giving more power to the Medical-Pharmaceutical Industrial Empire, which suited them very well. With legislation backing them, they could finally install their Emperor upon the throne.
Next, they lobbied to make certain other types of treatment compulsory, which failed on a general level, but was successful at the local level in many places. Now they had another weapon in their fight for control of health, reproduction and sanity. For meanwhile they had also developed the pill, to control the population numbers. They moreover increased the number of ‘psychiatric illnesses’, which puts schoolchildren on six different drugs every day, to ‘control their behaviour’. The fact that 60% of Americans are on some form of psycho-active drugs, is telling in this respect. Any other form of medicine is labeled quackery and prosecuted, harassed and robbed of its tools, by declaring them carcinogenic or some such excuse. That is how much their Emperor has gained in power.

While you will not be tortured in the literal sense of being imprisoned and subjected to thumbscrews, waterboarding and such like, the substances they subject you to can at least be classed in the same category. Most of the time it does not even leave a mark, except with pox, measles, whooping-cough and possibly polio, which may drop you dead, give you personality and brain-damage or leave you a paralysed, drooling wreck.
They say this is based on scientific evidence. However, evidence is supposed to remove all doubt. The evidence in the ‘evidence-based medicine’ presented by the orthodox brethren produces different results from their suppositions. It does not remove doubt, but reinforces it. While they have impressive arrays of machinery to show us their ‘evidence’, the conclusions derived from it are far from rational and highly doubtful by themselves, as we shall discover.
Their treatment is suppressive, forcing the disease to seek ever newer outlets, primarily because its former outlet is removed by surgery. By pushing the disease further inside, they conveniently hide its symptoms for some time, after which it will break out anew and be taken to be a different disease. They force upon the patient all kinds of haphazard measures, which he swallows, hook, line and sinker. They experiment a little here and add some guesswork there and simply wait and see and hope for the best. The boringly drab conventional cloakery in which they dress up their vague explanations fails to impress.
As William Blake said:
“The Prince's Robes & Beggars' Rags
Are Toadstools on the Miser's Bags.”
What else but miserly is modern medicine, with its attention to machines and its complete and utter disregard for the patient, the real sufferer?
Such types of clothes cannot even be designated as rags, let alone represent the Imperial robes, with all their splendour, beauty and glory. For their Emperor has no sable mantles, no pashmina shawls, no hermelin robes, no gold-embroidered silken shirts, no velvet trousers, no fine wool or cotton socks and no beautifully crafted shoes with gold-and-diamond clasps. He does not even wear an Imperial ring! Their Emperor wears consequently no clothes at all, but as in the fable, nobody dares to say anything.
We shall assume the mantle of the child and loudly proclaim that their Emperor is naked!
The Art of Healing
The Art of Healing finds its origins in charity and therefore cannot work but by empathy and sympathy. Since the law of homoeopathy is found in the oldest religious texts of the world and because it works along the same principles of empathy and sympathy, it can be easily inferred that it is the True Divine Art of Healing. Healing then, as in to make whole and Holy, cannot come out of speculation and self-reliance – it has to follow scientific principles, just like its material counterpart. It is not that anything you try should give it to you – no imaginative process will help, whether you call them ‘affirmations’ or ‘meditations’ or in a more down to earth manner call them ‘blood values’ and ‘antibody counts’ – you better be honest enough to admit that it is imagination either way.
Just as in any other art you first must learn the materials and the technique, so it is with the Art of Healing. It cannot be learned at university and no pope, emperor or king can confer this art or its qualifications upon the seeker. Just as there is but one Rembrandt and one Picasso and one Dali, so there are but few real Healers. And just as in the other arts, there are the assorted wannabees, the hangers-on and the charlatans. The Art comes through apprentice-ship and practise, practise and more practise, in following in the footsteps of the great masters – just consider the massive oeuvre Rembrandt left and his copying of previous masters, till he found his own. It comes from diligently treating and studying the sick, according to the rules set out by the masters.

Healing – to make whole or Holy – involves more than a cure. A cure is more than the removal of mental, emotional and physical symptoms. The doctor – of what-ever medical persuasion – generally only deals with the body, and if he is somewhat more holistic, he deals with the mind and emotions as well.
Treating disease is not only medicine and healing, it is also and foremost spiritual practise, which includes nutrition, body care, right work, proper rest and recreation. Homoeopathy is about holistic health and happiness. Although not giving specific spiritual instructions, it exhorts mankind that the spiritual path is the greatest guarantee for long life and happiness. Any good homoeopath should also be acquainted with the spiritual practises of his patients, so he can assist them in this manner as well. For as we noted above, the Art of Healing finds its origins in Divinity and hence it must be directed there, to have the greatest efficacy.
The Law of Similars is as old as the mountains and was reiterated for the first time in the Bhagavat Purana:
amayā yas ca bhūtanam yayate yena suvrata
tad eva hy āmayām dravyām na punāti cikītsitām
‘Oh good soul, does not a thing when applied therapeutically, cure a disease, which was caused by the very same thing?’
(Veda-Vyasa K.D. Bhagavat Purana 1/5/33)
The Bhagavat Purana is said to be the spotless purana because it does not contain any materialism in it. Hence every statement from that purana is spiritually pure. Therefore, the Healing Art described in it is the purest and most Divine of all.
Now, we reiterate it again, to impress upon the reader that ‘there are more ways to skin the cat’, as the saying goes. It was subsequently reiterated by Hippocrates, Paracelsus and Hahnemann – the first ignored and the latter two both ridiculed and despised for their insight and wisdom – yet modern medicine discards it as antiquated, vitalist, moon-shine medicine. However, we paraphrase Vyasa:
“This knowledge is the king of education, the most secret of all secrets. It is the purest knowledge and because it gives direct perception of the self by realisation, it is the perfection of healing. It is everlasting and joyfully performed.”
(Veda-Vyasa K.D.)
Homoeopathy, as the True Art of Healing, will not assimilate with the system. The mere mention of it is as nearly certainly the cause for a conventional reaction as is a glass of beer to a prohibitionist or an AA member. This reaction will be apparent from both sides, for they are wholly incompatible, having opposite principles and laws.
We quote David Bohm:
“The probability is always open that there may exist an unlimited variety of additional properties, qualities, entities, systems, levels, etc, to which apply correspondingly new kinds of laws of nature.”
(Bohm D. Wholeness and the Implicate Order)
It is of the ideals of science to know one thing from another before expressing an opinion on it. The medical scientists have neglected this and have gone from an assumption – Hiv causes Aids.
Assumptions generally leave one open to criticism, especially when the concepts on origins are hampered by tunnel vision, which is rooted in the 19th Century aberration of Pasteur, as we shall see. As Louis de Broglie once stated:
“It is premature to reduce the vital process to the quite insufficiently developed conceptions of 19th- and even 20th-Century chemistry and physics.”
(De Broglie L. La Chemie Moderne)
The theory must be repeatable by experiment to deserve to be classed as scientific. However, conjecture is the name of the game and there is no scope, nor escape for dissidence. Kent, a nineteenth century homoeopath and contemporary of Pasteur, expressed man’s preoccupation with conjecture as follows:
‘There is a state of insanity in the sciences of the present day. They put all laws aside, in order to accept for instance the germ-theory (or for that matter any theory), because they want something that in its aggregate is large enough to be felt with the fingers.’
(Kent J.T. Lesser Writings)
Since this is so, the throne of the Emperor must remain empty, till the rightful owner comes back to claim it. We cannot assume that modern medicine with its claims to health and happiness which they fail to deliver has the right to occupy any throne – let alone the throne of learning that medicine is.
You can see for yourself – and if not, we shall make you see – that in the century-and-a-half between these words and the present day nothing has changed. If we are unable to make you see the obvious you are either literally or figuratively blind. In the first case you will be forgiven. In the latter case, we suspect you belong in the class of ‘none so blind as those that refuse to see’. We admit that for those, even homeopathy is almost powerless. But only almost, since such refusal is merely a part of the symptoms and thus curable.
Medical Preoccupation
The doctors’ preoccupation with the levels of this that and the other, say for instance the blood, the liver and the kidneys, is nothing but prejudiced towards what they prefer to see. These levels have to be normal, they say. Their sense of the normal is derived from the mythological Mr Average, who is a figment of the imagination.
Do you know that athletes have lower antibody counts than an office clerk? Do you know that when you test for antibodies in the morning, you get great readings, while when testing after a hard day’s work, those readings are so lousy you would suspect Aids? So who and where is Mr Average in such cases? Is it the office clerk or the factory worker, the athlete or the party-goer?
After a party in the weekend everyone’s blood will look like the one with full-blown Aids. That is by itself of course no indication for the presence of Aids. It is merely used by some to justify their notion of direct cause. If you come a day later – after a good night’s sleep and your favourite breakfast – you would not recognise the readings as belonging to the same person.
With blood pressure it is even funnier. Each arm will give a very different and often opposite reading, even when done simultaneously. Ask your doctor, next time he takes the pressure. We have done it hundreds of times to assuage the fears of our patients when they suspected HBP and even bought a pressure meter to check. When shown that each arm was different and sometimes opposite, they stopped worrying and immediately the pressure went down on both arms.
From these examples we see that medical ‘science’ is concerned with details, without having so much interest in entirety, wholeness and completeness. Possessed by fragmentary thinking, they consider single little details to be the only things worth-while investigating. This leads inevitably to specalism, the definition of which is: knowing so much about so little that one knows nothing.
Specialism is the bane of modern medicine, because it leads further and further astray into so few details that the sight of the whole is no longer even considered. The trouble with fragmentary thinking is that it stems from pre-primary school mentality – one wants to find out how things work and thus it is taken apart and each separate part is further scrutinised in an attempt at understanding how it is made and how it works.
Evidently however, to study life, one must not investigate corpses.
Everything that is studied in isolation from its original environment must by definition give us incomplete and distorted knowledge about its nature, behaviour and relationship with its environment. Since this is both the aim and the occupation of our orthodox brethren, we must conclude they are completely ignorant about the human body, its functions and its modus operandi, notwithstanding claims to the contrary.
In the pages following in this not so small epistle, we shall provide abundant evidence of this ignorance and the wrong conclusions attached to such limited and blinkered views. From the presented facts the reader can make an educated decision about the scientific nature of modern medicine.
Nowhere in any industry is anyone allowed to work, unless he knows all the ins and outs of his particular task. A mechanic without papers may be able to work in some shoddy garage, but he will never be allowed to work for a renowned company, except possibly as an apprentice. If he arrives at his work and he declares he does not know how to fix certain things, he will not be retained for long.
A doctor on the other hand, gets his papers notwithstanding the fact that he does not know how to cure half of the diseases – we name but asthma, rheumatism, cancer, Aids and even the common cold. These are declared incurable by that same profession. In our view, if someone says that some things are impossible to do, it is generally due to ignorance on how to do it. If a mechanic says a problem is not fixable, he declares therewith his own incompetence – unless of course the thing is ruined. We see no reason why it should be any different for other professions, including medicine. Evidently, by declaring the common cold incurable, they have declared their own incompetence and ignorance.
When confronted with such cases, they tell the patient to take some aspirin, lemon juice and a stiff drink and go to bed with a hot-water bottle and ‘sick it out’. While it is the most sensible of all their ministrations because of its harmless nature, it does nothing to cure or shorten the common cold. One wonders if it is so common and been known for so long, why they have not been able to come up with a cure? After all, such an old and well-known acquaintance should be easy to conquer; it is but a common cold! Yet they declare they are unable to cure it. It reminds one of someone who wants to work in a garage and does not even know how to fix common tyres.
One shakes the head in astonishment at such callous disregard for the skills necessary to be let loose on diseased people.
Evidently, we have seen fit to include much implicit and explicit critique of the medical profession. This is not without grounds, since whom else but the doctors are responsible for the abuse of medicines we see so often these days? Even their own colleagues saw fit to loudly toll the alarm-bell and with more than good reasons.
According to them it was urgently required to look at medical practices, specifically concerning the abuse of antibiotics and other immuno-suppressors. They demanded this already 30-odd years and even much longer ago. What has changed in the mean time? Nothing at all, except for an increase, for the same and bigger problems face the physician today, in regards to the drugs and their often terrible side effects, with which he is to treat his patients.
As we write elsewhere in these pages, we do not consider doctors to want to deliberately poison their patients or to wish them any harm. We conclude they have lost their identity in the system to which they have to be subordinate, with all its rules and protocols, on which they had no influence at their formulation. Nor have they any influence to change them now. Hence we cannot hold each individual fully responsible.
The organised profession in the form of the World Medical Association and its local affiliates such as the AMA – which was set up and high-jacked by the pharma-boys and banks (Rockefeller Cs) and turned into a political lobbying association instead of a professional body – bear however a great deal of responsibility. It bullies dissidence with its censorious media. It stifles understanding with its limited and biased education. It is contemptuous to the patients with its impersonal, profit-driven conveyor-belt system and the other appendages that belong to it. Its monopolised goals do not befit an industry, which is supposed to work for the people’s benefit. In short, the Medical-Pharmaceutical Industrial Empire has much to answer for.
Vaccine-Induced Disease
Here is an exposition that demands those answers and provides some of its own. We know we have to be careful, because these powerful Pharmaceutical interests do not like their secrets revealed. They like it even less if these facts are also secrets to themselves. They will employ any spin to discredit the notions in these pages. They will certainly call it flawed, most probably declare it unscientific and, because of the comparisons and metaphors used, the work of a charlatan and so on. Moreover, because it contains enough dynamite to destroy their entire game, the deceit employed will only be greater. However;
“In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.”
(George Orwell ‘1984’)
We shall not be outraged, but rather we will be outrageous. However, the outrageous is immediately acceptable as the reasonable, if presented balanced and politely. What we propose in these pages has been hinted at by several researchers, but never been worked through. We shall deeply ponder these questions from the Vedic perspective, which is capable of giving us the insight, needed to understand this phenomenon.
We also have seen fit to be repetitious at times in regards to this proposition. We follow the adage that the pupil will only learn the lesson when it is repeated often enough. As the I Ching says:
‘To make a fool develop, it furthers one to apply discipline. The fetters should be removed. To go on in this way brings humiliation.’
(Wilhelm R. Baynes C.F. I Ching)
The discipline is in the repetition, without making it a drill. The fetters that must be removed in a fool are his ignorance. For if this ignorance remains, humiliation is the result. In the commentary, Wilhelm notes:
‘Given in addition a perseverance that never slackens until the points are mastered one by one, real success is sure to follow.’
(Wilhelm R. Baynes C.F. I Ching)
While not adhering to any of the current theories, since we consider them all in a greater or lesser degree flawed, we shall see that some researchers have investigated at least some of the effects of antibiotics on our health. Their findings have been incorporated in the thesis set forth in these pages, because they only strengthen it – they form the additional data obtained from the field and the experience of those engaged in their research.
Additionally, we have included the side effects of these drugs from the diverse pharmacopoeias. These effects form the preliminary conditions to further immuno-suppression by massive accumulation over many years in large quantities. The combined effects of large quantities and accumulation are the true cause and symptom picture of Aids.
A pharmacopoeia gives the definition and description of a drug, its source, indications and use, in rather vague terms of syndromes and disuse patterns. To them, it is something that can be described as follows: ‘A drug is something that, when given to a guinea-pig, will produce a scientific paper.’
It is conceivable, but not likely that the exposition given here may result in the inclusion in the protocol accompanying antibiotics. It is simply not likely, since we have no position in the hierarchy, nor do we have impressive titles or a series of letters before or after the name, both apparently needed to have a theory listened to, let alone be accepted.
As Dr. Colin Lessell stated:
‘Even the most lax of scientific observations and the most avant-garde propositions will be regarded as at least ‘interesting’, if the position of the presenter is sufficiently high within the hierarchy of the medical profession. Moreover, his behaviour should be appropriate to the requirements or he should have friends in high places. Otherwise, his work is poor, preposterous or even fraudulent.’
(Lessell C.B. The Infinitesimal Dose)
Professor Coulter, although answering to all the ‘right’ criteria, is the prime example of this attitude and my own humble position reflects it undiminished and most likely to a much greater degree:
‘In the event of him being not a member of the medical Orthodoxy he is a heretic, unworthy of attention and thus he is plainly ignored. They will not even apply the word charlatan.’
(Lessell C.B. The Infinitesimal Dose)
From the results produced by their owners, these titles can be classified as certificates of incompetence or simply wallpaper, as we shall see from the following exposition. Nonetheless, extensive experience, coupled to correct observation and inclusion of all data and parameters while following the scientific method to the letter, may count by themselves for more than impressive titles. After all, it is by results that everything must be judged, in the last analysis.
Hear no Evil, See no Evil, Speak no, Except….
However, we expect it to be met with the customary silence and dissent by the orthodox and unimaginative doctors, who will condemn it for its originality. That is, if they pay any attention at all; it coming not from their own ranks, but from someone considered to be ‘on the fringe’. For that reason alone, it will not likely be considered worthy of any attention. Hence to suppose that this exposition shall be met with general, let alone universal agreement, is simply wishful thinking. However, as Blaise Pascal noted:
'With something being contradicted, it is not proven that it is untrue, just as the contradiction not being debated proves that very something to be true.'
(B. Pascal. Thoughts)
If they do pay attention, it will be to vehemently oppose the very idea and to actively dissuade everyone from believing a single word of it. However, Constant Hering, whom we met above, used to say:
“One should not accept anything to be either true or untrue, until it is studied completely, and that also entirely on its own merits.”
(Hering C. On Homoeopathy)
He wrote this after having been asked to defeat Hahnemann’s homoeopathy and insisting he study the books to enable better refutation. He then proceeded to write a glorifying piece, for he studied it entirely on its own merits.
Similarly, we shall study the existing material about Aids ‘completely and that also entirely on its own merits’ or those it claims to have.
Therefore, we consider it not only worthwhile or interesting, but also highly necessary to also enlighten the public about these findings.
Since some researchers have also investigated the abuse of antibiotics, the proposition made here will certainly find some adherents who have done their home-work. There are no real excuses for the inability to see this disease for what it really is. While ingrained habits and wrong doctrines may hold sway for the moment, we may consider the intellectual challenge of thinking outside the common parameters to occur, albeit subjected to self-censorship. It is a question of hear no evil, see no evil and speak no evil, otherwise there are repercussions.
After all, if one steps out of line, he does so taking several great risks. His grant money may dry up; he may be shunned by colleagues; his avenues of publication are closed off; he will be ridiculed, vilified, excommunicated, his character will be assassinated and what have you, if he does not recant. He must be of sufficient stature to avoid or withstand such assaults on his integrity. He must also be able to refute them again and again, with sound arguments from the records available to him and also derived from their own discipline. For they hear no evil, see no evil and then think that two out of three is pretty good, when they utter unspeakable evil about the dissidents.
We are consistent with the establishment’s own written records, as we consider them much more reliable than the biased opinions of some of the present crop of orthodox doctors and internists, which are at enormous variance with these records and each other and who dismiss even these records out of hand.
They have never considered the implications.
They have never even considered the possibility.
They have never studied the medical records of the victims of vaccinosis and if they did, they denied the obvious correlations.
They have simply declared the epidemic disease the culprit, to wash their hands in innocence.
Each attempt at speaking the truth will be ignored, because to even listen is already seen as an admittance of possible failure.
An admittance of possible wrongdoing.
An admittance of unscientific procedures.
What you do not study will remain what you are in ignorance of.
When ignorant of both records and side effects, such ignorance becomes neglect. Neglect cannot be admitted, for such amounts to self-indictment. We cannot expect them to indict themselves for crimes committed by themselves. One is innocent till proven guilty and when the proof is denied as such for long enough, they might get away with it too. If we have anything to say in the matter, this will not happen so easily.
Customary silence is therefore the preferred option – it saves them answering difficult questions, because they can claim ignorance. Whether such silence will help them very much remains to be seen. It requires only one reporter who asks too many difficult questions too often and preferably when he is exposed to television Media. An inability to answer simple questions based on enduring ignorance with the facts that deal with those questions, leaves the scientist open to accusations of bias and prejudice. Not that such bothers them very much, witness the way they deal with – or rather not deal with – dissidence. To the orthodox, silence is golden.
Those Who Speak Up
Those who are satisfied with silver tongues do not have the scruples their gold-
"At the present time there are growing public and professional concerns about the safety of currently mandated childhood vaccine programs, as reflected in by a series of annual Congressional hearings in Washington DC that have taken place since 1999, sponsored by the U.S. House Government Reform Committee under the chairmanship of Congressman Dan Burton. At an annual conference of the American College for the Advancement of Medicine during April 2001, with several hundred physicians in attendance, when one of the speakers asked how many in attendance had concerns about the safety of current childhood vaccines, a large majority raised their hands. The Autism Research Institute of San Diego is now widely known as an active support group for families with autistic children and is one of the more active organizations in this field. Its founding director, Bernard Rimland, Ph.D., has provided the statistics that, in their experience, from 50 to 60% of parents with autistic children believe that their children were damaged by vaccines. In our own office we have seen many autistic children in recent years, and our own experience has been very similar, many parents reporting that deterioration of their children took place following vaccines." Dr. Buttram
Viera Scheibner, PhD - "Ever since mass vaccination of infants began, reports of serious brain, cardiovascular, metabolic and other injuries started filling pages of medical journals." In fact, pertussis vaccine has been used to induce encephalomyelitis, which is characterized by brain swelling and hemorrhaging"
Bart Classen, a Maryland physician, published data showing that diabetes rates rose significantly in New Zealand following a massive hepatitis B vaccine campaign in young children, and that diabetes rates also went up sharply in Finland after three new childhood vaccines were introduced.
The FDA admits that the 12,000 reports it receives annually on pharmacologic side effects from vaccines represent only a fraction of what actually occurs.
Russell L. Blaylock MD Neurosurgeon - "Most have at least heard about the controversy surrounding possible harmful effects of some of the vaccines. What is less well known is that even greater dangers exist than are being conveyed to the general public. Much of this information is buried in highly technical scientific journals beyond the reach and understanding of the average person. Of special concern is the relationship between vaccine policy, autism and the Gulf War Syndrome. I shall use the Gulf War Syndrome as an example of a vaccine policy gone berserk, while including discussions of other dangers as well."
Rebecca Carley, M.D - "If children receive all recommended vaccines, they will receive 2,370 times the "allowable safe limit" for mercury in the first two years of life (as if there is such a thing as a "safe" amount of a toxic poison). Yet, even after Congressional hearings instigated by Congressman Dan Burton (whose own grandchild became autistic after receiving vaccines) resulted in the FDA requesting (not ordering) vaccine manufacturers to remove this toxic heavy metal from their products, mercury is still present in many vaccines."
Congressman Dan Burton (R-Indiana) during Congressional Hearing: "You mean to tell me that since 1929, we've been using Thimerosal, and the only test that you know of is from 1929, and every one of those people had menigitis, and they all died?"
December 16, 2002 – Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy G. Thompson said he does not plan to be inoculated with the smallpox vaccine, and he recommends that other Cabinet members not request the inoculation either.
The hours, days and months following birth are undoubtedly the most critical phases in the life of human beings. Health and medical officials long ago decided that they knew best what should be done to children and many have made fortunes and careers out of this work. It is not by chance that infants are routinely disturbed physiologically and psychologically by medical interventions administered from the first moments of life. The incidence of childhood asthma, diabetes, and autoimmune diseases has doubled during the past 20 years; Attention Deficit Disorder has tripled, Autism has increased 600%. What part have vaccines played? Stanley Monteith, M.D.
Raymond Obomsawin, M.D. - "Delay of DPT immunisation until 2 years of age in Japan has resulted in a dramatic decline in adverse side effects. In the period of 1970-1974, when DPT vaccination was begun at 3 to 5 months of age, the Japanese national compensation system paid out claims for 57 permanent severe damage vaccine cases, and 37 deaths. During the ensuing six year period 1975-1980, when DPT injections were delayed to 24 months of age, severe reactions from the vaccine were reduced to a total of eight with three deaths. This represents an 85 to 90 percent reduction in severe cases of damage and death."
with the rest of the Chorus
"Thimerosol is the preservative in immunisation shots, so anytime you get an immunisation shot you are undergoing the same procedure that in the University Lab we used to give animals auto-immune disease – give a little tiny injection of mercury. And when you get an immunisation shot you are getting a little tiny dose of mercury there. Hal Huggins DDS
"Thimerosol is commonly used as an antiseptic/preservative in vaccines in the range of 1:10,000 to 1:20,000. Welsh's and Hunter's 1940 findings, applied to current thimerosal use in vaccines, lead to the conclusion that thimerosal completely inhibits phagocytosis in blood, one of the body's most vital immune defenses!"--Jamie Murphy
"We seem to have about 50% of members who suffer from auto-immune diseases, such as diabetes, lupus, M5, rheumatoid arthritis etc, whereas the general population suffer from 5 - l0%. There is no doubt in my mind that we have significant and common on going health worries, compared to people who did not suffer from pink disease."---Heather Thiele.

"As reported in a letter to the New England Journal of Medicine in 1984, tests of T-lymphocyte subpopulations were done on 11 healthy adults before-and-after routine tetanus booster immunizations. Tests showed a significant though temporary drop in T-helper lymphocytes (a class of white blood cells which helps govern the immune system) in all of the subjects. Special concern rests in the fact that in 4 of the subjects the T-helper cells fell to levels found in active AIDS patients. (2) If this was the result of a single vaccine in healthy adults, it is sobering to think of the consequences of the multiple vaccines (twenty-one at last count) routinely given to infants with their immature systems during the first six months of life. However, we can only speculate as to the consequences, as this test has never been repeated."--Dr Buttram MD
"Dr. H.H. Fudenberg, world-renowned immunologist with hundreds of publications to his credit, made the following comments: “One vaccine decreases cell-mediated immunity by 50%, two vaccines by 70%…all triple vaccines (MMR, DTaP) markedly impair cell-mediated immunity, which predisposes to recurrent viral infections, especially otitis media, as well as yeast and fungi infections.”
"I did not find it difficult to conclude that there is no evidence whatsoever that vaccines or any kind are effective in preventing the infectious diseases they are supposed to prevent. Further, adverse effects are amply documented and are far more significant to public health than any adverse effects of infectious diseases. Immunizations not only did not prevent any infectious diseases, they caused more suffering and more deaths than has any other human activity in the entire history of medical intervention. It will be decades before the mopping-up after the disasters caused by childhood vaccination will be completed." Dr. Viera Scheibner, PhD
Truth VS Opinion
Hence we are not alone in our condemnation of Hiv, its treatment, the accompanying ‘science’ and the propaganda in the form of media-hype. In fact, we agree with most of these 14 eminent scientists, who almost all have gained their experience in the field from practical application to the problem at hand. They are not just some dissidents from the fringe, but come from their own rank and file. They disagree with the call to close ranks on dissidence, question the ruling paradigm and call for reappraisal of the entire concept. A scientist is not supposed to be a politically correct crowd pleaser, he is supposed to find the cause of disease.
Neither are we alone in our conclusions, which are supported by the findings of many other scientists. Some may have wanted to say something different, but their findings are very useful in the establishment of the conclusions presented here.
Nonetheless, their call for the truth is a worthwhile call and of far more importance than the constant calls-to-arms on vaccination, which to date have not brought us any closer to solving this riddle of a disease. It is also far more important than the social and scientific standing of the medical establishment, for the vaccination conundrum has demolished that standing quite sufficiently already. It requires simply the removal of the rubble, with which this book is mainly concerned.
Hind-sight is always 20/20, they say. We say, hind-sight is looking the cow up the arse and will only show us the shit that has been happening. Rather than looking backward, our vision must be directed at what lies ahead, if we are to both understand and successfully treat and prevent this disease and the others that have reared their heads as a result of side effects.
Evidently, we must not commit the same mistakes committed in the past, but after having seen the contents of the cow’s behind, we should know what mistakes have been made. For those that don’t like to look the cow up its behind we have this report, which describes what exactly is the nature of the shit we found. It was not a pretty sight, but we have tried to present it as palatable as possible, without distracting an iota from any of its findings. Such a report, we considered, must be completely truthful, to deserve any attention at all. It also must be truthful if we are to be honest with ourselves and if we desire to be taken serious, by both the medical profession and the general public.
Truth is self-evident and the honest inquirer will be attracted to truth more than to opinion. Our opinions in this matter must be entirely subservient to the establishment of a truthful record. This is a necessity, if we are to understand what Aids is in the first place; how it came about and on what criteria we need to treat it.
Whoever questions the status quo is excommunicated from the ‘elite club’ that receives grants, gets to study the phenomena to death in the circular exclusivity of the vaccination establishment. All other visions are treated as suspect and anti-science.
Such narrow-minded tunnel-vision by the ‘democratic majority’ – they unanimously voted for vaccination in a no-bid contract – is incapable to see past the finger that points at the moon. When someone points to the moon, the fool looks at the finger, while the wise look at the moon. It behoves us to be wise.
Such type of ‘democracy’ we consider is suffering from democratosis, a deadly disease that forces people to believe and to follow a so-called majority and where the opposition has no say. However, as was noted in the past and is still present today as we see from the above, we give you a quote from the German philosopher, scientist and writer Schopenhauer:
"All truth goes through three stages. First it is ridiculed. Then it is violently opposed. Finally, it is accepted as self-evident."
(Schopenhauer)
Limited Hangouts
We must also mention that before any theory can be accepted, it has to be scrutinised on its own merits. In order that you do not think we wrote a piece of bunk, we will have to establish first that the other theories are false, before we dare even demand attention for our own hypothesis. Not only are they false; many of them belong in the class of ‘limited hangouts’ and hence are plain disinformation. They are also known as CoIntelPro, a term borrowed from the CIA and other three-letter-Agencies. It literally means ‘counter-intelligence propaganda’ and is a tool to sow discord, confusion and promote concentration on small parts of the truth. We must not surmise that the Medical-Pharmaceutical Industrial Empire does not have such programs. They certainly do and euphemistically call them Public Relations. Here is a nice description of the phenomenon.
“A "limited hangout" is a partial confession, a mea culpa, if you will that leaves the essence of a crime or covert reality hidden. Because it includes some small part of the truth, the limited hangout is irresistibly attractive to dissidents and political critics, whose thirst for such truth makes them jump at the dangled scraps. Once the system's watchdogs are busy chewing on the limited hangout, the guilty players can go about their illegal business for a new round of unaccountable, semi-secret mayhem.”
(Fitts C.A. From the Wilderness)
Many of the theories about the cause of vaccinosis are little more than such limited hangouts, as we shall extensively show. They belong in the class of disinformation which, also and specifically in the case of medical problems and conundrums, thrives by such limited hangouts. This phenomenon is not restricted to or even specific of the conspiracy theories, but is inherent in all the theories espoused by both the establishment and the dissidents.
Some theories admit to what is known and then use the credibility created by his limited hangout to further obscure the reality of which is what in the search for the real cause. Indeed, it was the need for a means of financing black budget operations and drugs outside the view and control of any Government. It was the mere pursuit of corporate profits that provided the political air-cover for the Pharmaceutical interests to do what they did, as their covert counterparts marketed legal and illegal drugs in Western and Third World communities alike. In the Third World, they also got rid of their excess and forbidden drugs – those past the use-by date and those forbidden due to their side effects.
"If they can get you asking the wrong questions, they don't have to worry about the answers." (Thomas Pynchon)
As Thomas Pynchon so aptly noted, ‘limited hangouts’ provide exactly the platform that entices one to deludedly ask the wrong questions. They are generated at regular intervals, when the interest in a previous one is waning or when it has been exposed as a limited hangout and thus serves no longer any purpose. Each time, another little snippet of the truth is revealed and the careful researcher is able to pick out the truthful bits, discarding the disinformation and begin to connect the dots.
Conspiracies have in common that they are of two classes – those that are true and those that are not. The first category always comes from a whistleblower, whose life is in danger from the moment he opens his mouth or publishes material to expose the scam. The Pharmaceutical Interests are doing with opposition and dissidence exactly what the Agencies do with dissidents in politics and foreign spies.
The second category is always riding the personal hobby horse and never in danger of life, for nobody is threatened by the ‘exposition’. Many are simply conduits for disinformation, especially when they claim to have or do have contacts in high places.
The true whistleblowers always have a hard time to be heard, for they are lumped with those that ride, trot or gallop their hobbyhorse. They risk all, to expose the scam from within and all their statements are backed up by sound and substantial evidence, painstakingly collected, sifted for truth value and consequently presented. Whistle-blowers often end up dead, because what they had to say was too explosive and exposed too many people in high places. There are plenty of cases known in the annals of both Corporate and Government crime. Presenting evidence of such crime – regardless whether committed intentionally or not – exposes one to the ultimate price to pay. One can be a renewer of the greatest capacity, but unless the establishment accepts and punishes the culprits and implements the recommendations, one runs but one risk.
“The pioneer can be recognised by the arrows in his back.” (Mark Twain)
And why is this so, one could ask. After all, he who tells the truth does a great service to humanity. Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas warned against the tyranny of conformity and the injury it does to freedom of expression and thought. As he wrote in ‘Freedom of the Mind’:
"The curious man – the dissenter; the innovator – the one who taunts and teases or makes caricature of our prejudices is often our salvation. Yet throughout history he has been burned or booed, hanged or exiled, imprisoned or tortured, for pricking the bubble of contemporary dogma."
(Douglas W.O. Freedom of the Mind)
Even Paracelsus complained about the same attitudes in his time. We discover that 500 years ago one had to be careful with what one said. Today, in so-called more enlightened times we are in the same situation and medieval about our attitudes to dissidence. Paracelsus says the following about this:
“For good reasons did the ancient Magicians express their prophecies in images rather than writing. For who dare tell the naked truth to a king? I would rather not – my reward might be a hanging. No Magus, Astrologer or Cheiromancer should tell his sovereign the naked truth. He should use images, allegories, figures, wondrous speech or other hidden or roundabout ways.”
(Paracelsus ‘De Lapidus Philosophorum’)
Who is to say whether whistleblowers should maybe remain silent? For why would anyone for that matter allow malfeasance to go on, either scientific, financial or otherwise? It is obvious that one must make a choice guided by one’s conscience and not by one’s fears. Frank Herbert has told us what fear is and how to deal with it. In Dune he writes the following:
“Fear is the killer of intelligence. I must not give in to my fear, lest I will be destroyed by it. I must let the fear go through me and leave me. There will remain nothing but me as the indestructible spirit.” (Herbert F. Dune)
Scientific Malfeasance
One way of determining the truth of some assertions regarding this conundrum is to follow the money – qui bono, who benefits? In the case at hand, the only beneficiary is the Medical-Pharmaceutical Industrial Empire; the Sickness Industry.
Writing about that subject would be finished in one sentence: Billions of $$ in grants, billions of $$ more in sales for useless drugs and all the attention and glamour they would want.
However, this book is not so much about financial malfeasance as it is about scientific malfeasance. This is a much more serious subject than mere financial fraud of whatever magnitude, because it concerns fraud with the health of every individual on the planet. The Enron scandal with its billons lost, was mere peanuts compared to scientific health-fraud. Enron affected some very rich and many ‘poor’ shareholders, but medical scientific fraud puts everyone at risk and costs billions more in lost man-hours alone. Then we do not yet count the lives that are lost because of it.
For those accustomed to critical books, we ask for patience if they think it goes too slow. Remember that thoroughness leaves out counter-arguments. Anyone else, we advise to be prepared for a challenge to the intellect and take a cuppa for strength.
A member of the orthodox medical establishment is advised to make the sign of the crucible – or whatever the devotees of the Church of Medical Science do when meeting New Correlates.
We do not expect any of them – layman and professional alike – to accept this book’s premises without any objections.
Rather we expect nothing but opposition.
After all, as Jonathan Swift noted:
“When a true genius appears in the world, you may know him by this sign; that all the dunces are in confederacy against him.”
(Swift J.)
The industry and all those affiliated with it must confront their own faults honestly and squarely. The dissidents must equally honestly reconsider their own notions, insofar as they are but limited hangouts. As we stated above, this requires a revolution in their perceptions and thinking – a quantum leap. They must leave the limited behind, stop hanging out and open up their perception to the broader perspective of the lateral vision and the interconnectedness of past, present and future. This is more applicable to and in medicine than possibly in any other discipline, except maybe in history. Therefore, the medical history of the patient is the prime lead in all medical investigations in the development of any state of disease.
What Makes an Expert?
What we present in these pages will be considered impossible by many. Our Spiritual Master used to say that ‘impossible is a word in a fool’s dictionary’. Yet at the same time, he admonished us to not accept material science as the be-all and end-all of possible explanations of life and the universe. He told us to expose some of the claims of science as impossible – by the rules of science that is.
For the seemingly impossible also follows natural laws, if scrutinised correctly. If it does not, the entire idea behind it is an ‘impossibility’ in the scientific sense.
Evidently, we cannot have a son of a barren woman.
Impossibilities then, follow from incompatible and/or opposite entities like a barren woman and her son. Everything else remains of course entirely in the realm of the possible. Hence perception, prejudice and credulity are the next items on the menu. Confusion of perception is all too common.
We all know that what to one looks like a stick is to the other a rope and to the third a snake. In the medical science regarding Aids, they consider the stick to be a snake and are deadly afraid of it. The conspiracy theorists see the stick as a rope and most of their theories hang themselves with it, when given enough. We see the stick for what it is and will pick it up to beat some sense into the scientists and conspiracy theorists.
As to prejudice, together with credulity, we know of no limits for it. It is easy to believe that we know everything about the world and how things are. For example, sceptics often repeat that homeopathy makes no sense and therefore cannot work. To those who think the proposition made in these pages to be ‘impossible’, we invite them to take note of the primary statements of such ‘certainty’ by other ‘experts’. But then again, ‘experts’ of the greatest standing have been often proven to be wrong…..
For if we look in the history of scientific endeavour we find that many things were considered impossible and then proved to be the exact opposite. Just as the thesis set forth in these pages will be considered impossible, but when considered carefully will prove to be true. To the disbelievers and doubters, we give the following quotes to ponder and to possibly reconsider their stance.
“I categorically state that stones do not fall from the sky. Such is impossible, for how did they get up there? In my many travels with balloons I never encountered any.” Antoine Lavoisier, Scientist, Economist, Social Reformer, Balloonist, Father of modern chemistry. 1764.
“Radio has no future.” Lord Kelvin, President of the Royal Society 1898.
“The radio craze…will die out in time.” Thomas Edison, 1922.
“The abolishment of pain in surgery is a chimera. It is absurd to go on seeking it today.” Dr Alfred Velpeau, surgeon professor, Paris Faculty of Medicine, 1837.
“The abdomen, the chest and the brain will forever be shut from the intrusion of the wise and humane surgeon.” Sir John Eric Ericson, Surgeon to Queen Victoria, 1873.
“If excessive smoking actually plays a role in the production of lung cancer, it seems to be a minor one.” Dr. W. C. Heuper, National Cancer Institute, 1954.
“X-Rays will prove to be a hoax.” Lord Kelvin, President of the Royal Society, 1895.
“Rail travel at high speed is not possible because passengers, unable to breathe, would die of asphyxia.” Professor Dionysus Lardner, 1830.
“Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible.” Lord Kelvin, President of the Royal Society, 1896.
“Flight by machines heavier than air is impractical and insignificant, if not utterly impossible.” Simon Newcomb, astronomer, 1902 (One year later, the Wright brothers flew over the English Channel).
“I can accept the theory of relativity as little as I can accept the existence of atoms and other such dogma.” Professor Ernst Mach (as in speed-of-sound measurement), 1913.
“There is no likelihood man can ever tap the power of the atom. The glib supposition of utilizing atomic energy when our coal has run out is a completely unscientific Utopian dream, a childish bug-a-boo. Nature has introduced a few fool-proof devices into the great majority of elements that constitute the bulk of the world, and they have no energy to give up in the process of disintegration.” Robert Millikan, Nobel prize-winner in physics, 1920.
“There is not the slightest indication that energy will ever be obtainable. It would mean that the atom would have to be shattered at will.” Albert Einstein, 1932.
“The most important fundamental laws and facts of physical science have all been discovered and these are now so firmly established that the possibility of their ever being supplemented by new discoveries is exceedingly remote.” Simon Newcomb, astronomer, 1903.
